Not to mention, the stock tune on the STI is terrible, the engine will be just as prone to ringland failure, and the FA motor is in the WRX is better at making boost than the EJ motor in the STI.

Congrats!
And yea the base WRX is the "new" one, but honestly at least your STI doesn't look like an accord :P Plus there's quite a bit to the "STI" badge other than power... although with the base wrx having a 6 seed now (really how long did that have to take) its closing the gap a little. Personally if I were to get a WRX I'd get the STI model for sure. Unless it was for the wife I guess, or I didn't want to track it. (Which is probably a majority of the people sure) |

Good for you! I've been waiting for a forced induction FRS, but reading all these reviews of the new STI and the news about no turbo coming for the FRS, I'm starting to think I'll be buying the STI also in a year when my student loans are finally paid off.
And since I live in the mountains of north Idaho, there are plenty of good reasons for me to get an AWD car instead of the FRS,....dammit I want a coupe WRX. |

Not everybody wants to buy the base model and spend another 10g to mod it and void the warranty. STi's are quite special out of the box, if you're the kind of driver to utilize it (track/autox/etc) than it's definitely a good move. NOW, if you just bought it over the base WRX to have pointless street cred, that's a great way to waste 10 grand. |

Dealer said end of April to May, but car came last week. Dealer kept their promise of the $18,700 trade in even though I put 1,000 more miles on the car. They currently have the car listed for $22,000 on their website.
Here's some pics for you guys to enjoy. The car looks completely better in person. Pictures don't do it justice... It's a machine. |

Idk why there's no burnout marks on that driveway yet lol
Resistance- Because if we fight we might lose, but if we don't fight we've already lost. |
